Bubbling Ponds Preserve
Description: This site (page Springs Fish Hatchery and Bubbling Ponds) is built and operated by The Arizona Game and Fish Department and is open to the public. There are several open ponds which are favorite spots for Great Blue Herons and a multitude of ducks. On the other side of the Fish Hatchery is Bubbling Ponds which is an Audubon Bird Sanctuary that is just as interesting as the ponds. The Bird Sanctuary is lined with old Cottonwood and Sycamore trees which support a rich diversity of riparian bird species. Both of these sites are parts of the Lower Oak Creek Important Bird Area (IBA) sites listed with the Northern Arizona Audubon Society.
